As fronteiras porosas do contemporâneo: uma breve reflexão sobre o romance Becos da Memória

The present work presents a brief reflection on the social boudaries experienced  by some characters  of  the  novel  Becos da Memoria , by  the writer  Conceicao Evaristo, especially  of the character  Ditinha. This reflection  seeks  to show how  the writer  uses the border notion  to expose  the  subject’s  condition  that is simultaneously  included  and  excluded  in our society. From the 1990s, Conceicao Evaristo appears in the Brazilian literary scene and introduces a narration that subverts stereotyped narratives about the black people, especially women. In this way, it is important to reflect on contemporary boundaries and their multiples interpretations. Keywords : Becos da Memoria; Conceicao Evaristo; Boundaries.
